Out in western Pennsylvania, the issue of abortion can strike a nerve. Democrats there often describe themselves economic liberals and social conservatives who favor gun rights and oppose abortion rights.
So, it was not unusual to see a woman stand near the end of Barack Obama’s town hall meeting in Johnstown, Penn., and offer a hurried, passionate plea for him to “stop these abortions.”
…The exchange appeared to be prompted by Obama’s earlier comments that he does not favor abstinence-only education, but rather comprehensive sexual education that includes information on abstinence and birth control. “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”

How the hell has this clown pulled off all this how “smart” he is? I don’t think he has the sense God gave a turnip.
When discussing a product of “free love”, don’t be shocked when he treats love as cheap...
I'm not aware of anyone in favor of not giving Obama's children, or anyone else's children, information. Leg crossed, no baby, no STD.
The issue which doesn't seem to come out here it the "punishment". Neither an STD nor a pregnancy is a "punishment" for intercourse, it's a rather natural outcome. Barak wasn't in Church the day Rev. Wright discussed that.
More important from a political perspective, not necessarily mine, is that Barak would allow his children to correct that "punishment" right up to the hour of the delivery. And he's one of the few politicians in America on record, 4 votes as an Illinois Senator, that if the abortionist makes a mistake and a live baby is born, it should be denied medical treatment, just tossed in the laundry room and picked up after expiration.
It's a barbaric worldview, and one that even most pro choice voters won't accept.
Punished with a baby? What a creep. This POS is so despicable he’s not even fit to be dog-catcher, let alone the president. Sickening.
What a despicable comment.
I know it's already being discussed, and I haven't read the replies yet.
However, how inhumanly selfish to refer to a baby as PUNISHMENT.
Thank the Lord, those babies are now in His care.
Shame on the man who wants to "bring us together".
Your post reminded me of a bit of doggerel scrawled on a restroom wall at a very leftist university in Germany, back in the '70s.
It was graffiti attacking a hated conservative politician named Franz Josef Strauss...
Haette Mutter Strauss abgetreiben
Wuerde uns der Franz erspart geblieben
Which I think means "If Mother Strauss had aborted, we would have been spared Franz." (My German is rusty after 35 years, so German speakers, entschuldigen Sie mir bitte!)
mombonn: I don’t want them punished with a baby. What a despicable comment.mombonn: Punished with a baby? What a creep.
Seems to me candidate Obama be suggesting that those who contract AIDS are being punished for sexual promiscuity or drug use.
Not politically correct, imagine if a Republican had said that.
oops, that’s “abgetrieben”(not abgetreiben), to rhyme with geblieben
“That’s the attitude that gets children murdered.”
Yes it sure does.
I know of women who could never have children. They wanted so badly to be “punished” with a baby.
Obama’s heartless.
If the Muslim angle is correct as suspected, it’s also what gets women killed.
When you look at humans as a pestilence on the world, it is only a tiny step to see a child as a punishment.
picking up your string, he went in search of his “blackness”, as he once said. What I believe he was looking for was the acceptance he had craved all his life - after being abandoned by his father at age two. I didn't help to have mummy toss h im off as well.
He found ‘acceptance’ in the Black Liberationists church and a surrogate daddy in Rev. Bullfrog, under whose Svengali influence he is inextricably enmeshed...
He CANNOT pull away from his “daddy” and the militant blacks with whom he found his “blackness.”
He has some serious issues to work out - and the WH is not the place for it.

Thanks for the ping!
I was just thinking deep thoughts today about ...
How can liberals be against death penalty for known, convicted killers....
But in favor of killing innocent babies who have never had a bad thought or word or action in their life.
It is not a choice
It is a child
I see no difference between killing an unborn baby and killing your child after it is born. Or killing unborn baby and your teenager. No difference at all. We are being conditioned and brainwashed to accept it as normal, but it is murder. I was reading the other day about how well developed the baby is just a few days and weeks after conception, and it is amazing. That little heart is beating and rushing blood through the body REALLY early in the pregnancy.
When a nurse named Jill Stanek brought about national awareness to a practice at a local hospital in suburban Chicago that allowed the starvation and neglect of newly born children who had survived abortion procedures - Obama opposed her. He opposed the right of those children to be given the chance to live and he advocated against a ban on such procedures - then known as “born alive abortions.”
